Auditions

Audition information and sign-up links will be provided as they become available.

Incoming Freshman Band Auditions
Most incoming freshmen enroll in Freshman Band, and no audition is necessary. However, students may decide to do the optional audition for placement in one of the upperclassmen bands (Advanced Symphonic Band, Symphonic Band or Concert Band) during the spring of their eighth-grade year. A registration form must be completed to receive more information regarding their music and audition schedule. All information will be shared with you via email the week of March 14th, 2021.

All students must be registered for Freshman Band in order to audition. The SHS Band Directors will assist with any course changes need after the audition process has been completed.

Click here to register for the optional audition.

*Freshmen who audition for upperclassmen bands are not guaranteed placement. They must meet a number of minimum performance criteria before being considered.

Marching Percussion Auditions
Typically held in the spring - details TBA
